Become a Seductive Reviewer

Are you interested in sharing your thoughts about books that you've read? See me up there, that's me (well, not really me, but sometimes it's how I feel) contemplating how I can attempt to read and review all of the romances that I am tempted with on a regular basis.

How's a reader to know what books should be bought and placed at the top of a mountainous TBR? The answer: Reviews. Reviews and shared opinions from fellow readers that have similar tastes to your own.

Seductive Musings is looking for a few enthusiastic reviewers who love to read romance and join me in my romance addiction. The only necessary requirements are...

A passion for romance novels

A passion for sharing your thoughts

Expressing your unbiased and honest opinion...both the good and the bad

Basic grammar, but don't worry about spelling that's what spellcheck is for ;)

oh, and you should be over 18 years old

It doesn't matter if you have a blog of your own or not. If your style is the same as mine or not...just think of it as typing your thoughts to a friend instead of speaking to them about it. If you are interested please email me using the Contact Form.

Are you a fan of the strong, silent type? If so then I think author Julie Ann Walker has a hero just for you! Her hero, Nate Weller from Hell on Wheels is one of those types of men, and Julie's here today to share a bit about him and his nickname, "Ghost". Enjoy!

~~~***~~~

Hey-ho! Julie Ann Walker here, happy to be on Seductive Musings talking about my oh-so-delicioso hero, Nate "Ghost" Weller and how he came to have that chilling and tempting nickname...

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Au contraire, my dear Shakespeare. When you're a spec-ops guy, your nickname has meaning. And for Nate, the nickname "Ghost" pretty much sums up his demeanor whether he's out in the field, eye trained on the sites of his sniper rifle, or listening to Ali babble in that way of hers that, despite his best intentions, he finds simply irresistible. He's stealthy, aloof, and prone to long periods of silent observation.

From a scene in the opening chapter. Told from Ali's point of view:

Nate Weller certainly wouldn’t welcome her. For Pete’s sake, he didn’t even like her. Always eyeing her with such cold calculation. Those fathomless black eyes of his following her like she was some strange bug and he was the dispassionate scientist charting her activities.

Sheesh.

Okay, so maybe she had the tendency to talk too much. But that was partly his fault because he never talked, instead remaining constantly and aggravatingly aloof, which was a state so totally foreign to her that she, in turn, started jabbering like her mouth was attached to a motor.

Which was lovely, just lovely.

And here's what Frank "Boss" Knight has to say about him:

Nate had been tagged “Ghost” because he was so damned stealthy in the field. But ever since Grigg Morgan, Nate’s all-time best friend and ace spotter, died, especially considering the way Grigg died—and great wasn’t that just one more happy thought Frank would rather not have today?—Nate’d given new meaning to the nickname. Now he was Ghost because he was a walking dead man. No emotion. It wasn’t like the guy had been a big bowl of jolly to begin with, but now? Damn…

So if you're a sucker not only for Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, but also for the strong, silent type, pick up a copy of HELL ON WHEELS and try not to fall in love with Nate "Ghost" Weller. I dare you!

Black Knights Inc.—Behind the facade of their tricked–out motorcycle shop is an elite special ops team assigned the jobs too hot for anyone else to handle.

Hold On Tight...

Ex–Marine Nate "Ghost" Weller is an expert at keeping his cool—and his distance—which makes him one hell of a sniper. It's also how he keeps his feelings for Ali Morgan in check. Sweet, sexy Ali has always revved his engine, but she's his best friend's baby sister...and totally off limits.

Rough Road Ahead

Ali's never seen anything sexier than Nate Weller straddling his custom Harley—or the flash of danger in his eyes when she tells him she's in trouble. First something happened to her brother, and now she's become the target of a nasty international organization. With Nate, her life is in the most capable hands possible—but her heart is another story altogether.

Congratulations Julie and thanks for being my guest today! Nate's book Hell on Wheels is the first book in the Black Knights, Inc. series. The second book, In Rides Trouble releases next week, and then the third book, Rev It Up comes out at the beginning of October. Delicioso indeed!

To celebrate the release of the first book in the Black Knights, Inc. series by Julie Ann Walker, her publisher Sourcebooks Casablanca would like to giveaway a print copy of Hell on Wheels to one lucky Musings follower. Enter to win and read all the rules in the Rafflecopter entry form below:

My FREE Kindle Quest

I've wanted a Kindle for what seems like forever, but haven't been able to afford it (and that's saying something since I can justify the cost of just about ANYTHING that I really want). I've tried winning one in one of the many giveaways that have taken place over the couple of years, but with no luck :( So I've decided to take matters in hand so to speak :) I've now decided that I am going to accumulate enough Swagbucks from my Swabucks searches to buy one...so in essence my new Kindle will be FREE...funded entirely by my internet searches done on Swagbucks. I'll keep you informed of the Great Kindle Quest below (in case you're interested....if not feel free to just skip over this part, but really who wouldn't be interested in a FREE Kindle?)

Goal: $119

Current Swagbucks Amazon Gift Card balance: $90.00

If you'd like to learn how you can earn Swagbucks and earn your own Amazon Gift Cards to buy books, a Kindle or other merchandise sold at Amazon contact me and I would be more than happy to tell you how I plan to go about it. (just so you know you can earn both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca gift cards on this rewards site)
